change to an icon in the dock. In OS 9, the document will rollup until only the title
bar is displayed.
The Maximize button in Windows will open the document window to the largest
size that will fit in the application window. For Macs, the Zoom button will toggle
the between its current size and the screen’s maximum size. The Close button will
close the window and offer a dialog box where you can save the current file if it
hasn’t been saved. Multiple document windows can be opened at the same time
and the title of each open document window will be displayed at the bottom of the
Window menu. A checkmark will appear in the Window menu next to the current
active document window.
Although only one document window is active at a time, several document windows
can be opened at a time. The Window menu includes a couple of commands that
make it easy to see all the opened document windows. Window ➪ Cascade will line
up the title bars of all the opened document windows, Window ➪ Tile will tile the
opened document windows next to one another to fill the application window and
Window ➪ Arrange Icons will arrange all the minimized icons into neat rows.
Figure 1-3 shows two document windows opened next to each other.
The Cascade, Tile and Arrange Icons options are only available for Windows
computers.
